Except he is applying for a loan, a bank has no business knowing the colour of your gate or doing house verification.

Your hard-earned money is with them so if anything, it is the customer that should be asking for their MD's exact house address incase they run away with his money.

Stop posting ignorance on a public forum.

You are the ignorant here. It's for proper identification of the property because it's a vendor that will visit the address and your neighbors must be able to identify you else, the upgrade or opening will not be completed.

You are still a kid bro, grow up and stop embarrassing yourself in public, any standard in Nigeria must have house visitation, it is called KYC (know your customer).

It is a must for tier 2 upward. Maybe you are still using those s that don't require any ID card before opening (ie tier 1)

Wow I I kept hearing this KYC from them but didn't just understand.
Thank your this explanation. Clearer now
banks have even gone beyond KYC (Know Your Customer), now they are implementing KYCB (Know Your Customer's Business)

I also thought as much, the bank has absolutely no right in knowing the exact description of your house, what are they coming to visit you for? Except you are taking a loan from them, that is absolute violation of privacy. Just provide a valid residential address, if you are staying there or not it's non of their business.

It is part of Know Your Customer (KYC). This verification is done on every new to establish the intention and location of the owner of the in case there need for visitation. Again the banker is gonna write visitation report of the customer. The color of the building, the gate and all those details are for visitation report because the banker is so lazy to go and see things by himself.

I may be wrong ooo, but why then is the need for BVN and NIN ation if they still need to ask me this?

It is a regulatory requirement. If you use that to commit fraud and declared wanted by law enforcement agents, the bank and the officer must be able to take the law enforcement agents to that address and if you are at large, they must confirm that you were resident in that address at the point of opening/update

There's is something suspicious I noticed. A friend went for a bank upgrade which I accompanied him.
While he made available the documents needed, I noticed he was ask questions and one of the questions which got my attention was concerning his address.
They were interested in his address and the lady even asked "if one needs to find you, is this the address that will work?"

At the marketing room he told me he was asked the description of the building he resides in like the color, bungalow or story, gate colour

So to those who are enlightened on this, my question is why is such information needed especially the details of his residence?.
Is there a reason for this?

They need to know where they can catch you in case you use the to commit fraudulent act. You can rent an apartment that you do not live there for proof of address if you want to do yahoo with the . I am suspecting you. grin grin

This is the only sensible quote I've gotten so far.
I give you my own money, you are coming to monitor me. For what exactly? Who should be monitoring who??

KYC is now outsourced to the best of my knowledge. The RM probably needs the information for the agent. That way they don’t claim they didn’t find the house. I’ll be shocked if any bank is still putting their RMs through such an ordeal in 2021.

Why are you spewing ignorance with so much arrogance? How stupid can someone get?! You are either on a psychiatric medication or you are deliberately trying very hard to be a nuisance. sad

Also many people cheat banks. If your friend does anyhow they'll know where to arrest him or who to in the case of his next of kin.
